The European Union and the United Kingdom have been through extensive negotiations to discuss the terms of the latter’s withdrawal from the former.

‘HispanTV’ is an international Spanish language news channel whose programmes are distributed in Spain, Venezuela, Argentina, Cuba and other countries.
